My new water garden


 My mom and I always connected through gardening.  


Even in her foggiest hours, she could remember the names of plants and the calls of birds.  


She always wanted me to put in a water garden, but the 2 feet of limestone and months of drought always daunted me. 


Finally last year, the boys and I started digging. Unfortunately, she passed before she could see the finished product, but every morning I sit and enjoy the pond and think of her.
